Malakai's Thoughts

 It's interesting how a class on family can relate to politics so much. I am just going to say straight up, I am against illegal immigration. Ben Shapiro Fan... Now I know that angers many people, but I have my own personal opinions and if I was an immigrant I may have a totally different point of view. As someone who has lived in the United states my whole life, I believe in following order and laws, and even if you don't support those laws, you go through the system and elect representatives to change those laws. Instead of breaking those laws on your on terms. Of coarse immigrants can't change laws in another country though.  Why would someone in the U.S. be against Illegal immigration. Well i'm not worried about someone stealing my job or anything about being "racist". Making it difficult to become a U.S. citizen protects our rights as U.S. citizens. The reason people want to come to the U.S. is because to be honest, we have it pretty good. If anyone can b...

I find the Family System is very important more now than ever. The roles we play in our own families and how we support each family member. Having been in a family that has been constantly changing in size and roles from many sibling being born, and parents being divorced and remarried, I know how hard it is to not have a stable family system. Also why it's important to get back to a stable family system, because when my family goes too long being off balanced it causes contention and sadness.  What role do I play in my family? Easy, I am the peace maker. I remember learning in health class of the personality theory of the four colors everyone has. Red, Yellow, Blue and White. If someone is Red they would be in their own self interest and may like contention. Yellow would be living life to find the most happiness they could get out of it. Blue cares about making good relationships with others. Lastly white is all about making peace with others and hates contention.  In my fami...

 This week I have wondered why people these days are having fewer children and yes, we did go over the many of the reasons why someone wouldn't have children these days, but I think personally when I want to have children is when i'm done with at school, and married of coarse. I am still a little young to have kids. I'm only 20. For a while Iv'e been thinking about waiting until my late 20's to get married and have children because I always thought I should experience my life as a young adult as I can, because I have the rest of my life to be married and settle down, but I only have so long to be young and free. I first got this Idea from my uncle who asked me what age I want to get married, and I said 24. He told me to take my time, there's no hurry. He didn't get married until he was 28. Although he ended up only having 3 kids compared to my dad who got married at a younger age and had 7 kids.  So my thinking with this generation we don't want to grow ...
